Bastille Day is back—now bigger and better than ever!

In addition, visitors can cool off at two different film screenings, “Chicken for Linda” and “Daaaaali” at Florence Gould Hall. You can slo immerse yourself in mesmerizing art activations that celebrate the French-speaking world, and dance the day away to the tunes of DJ Julien.
Among the greatest highlights are The French Garden, showcasing more than a dozen luxury shops from 60 to 61 St, including: Angelina Paris, Café d’Avignon, Cartolina, Emily’s Pillow, La Joie de Vivre, French Wink, Mille-Feuille Bakery, Paul Crée, Président, Silpat, Sofitel, Thermomix USA, and Thierry Atlan.
The Bastille Day celebration heads indoors with its rosé and bubbly parties! Enjoy a selection of outstanding summer wines from GH Mumm, Sainte Marguerite en Provence, and Henri Giraud, coupled with sweet bites from La Maison du Chocolat, and live jazz by the Margot Sergent Quartet.
